8  Create Attribute ValuesOnce your case type has been created, you can begin the creation of values for the category, reason

code and root cause code dispute case attributes. All three of these attributes enable visibility,

reporting and root cause analysis for your deduction population.

Category is a classification of the dispute case which can be used to subdivide case types. Samplecategories are as follows:

  Pet Products

  Personal Hygiene Products

  Non-Product Related

  Post Audit

Cause is the reason f or the customer’s dispute and can be synchronized with the reason code in FI-

Accounts Receivable. Reason codes can also used to drive the prioritization and derivation of a G/L

account for automatic write-off. Please see below for sample reason codes:

  Shortage

  Pricing

  Returns

Root cause code captures the issue supporting claim resolution, or why the claim is approved,

written off or billed back for example. Sample root cause codes are as follows:

  POD Indicates Complete Delivery

  POD Indicates Partial Delivery

  Carrier Error

  Discount Not Applied to Invoice

9  WorkflowUsing workflow will enable cross-departmental collaboration by sending automatic notifications to a

dispute case processor. SAP Dispute Management is equipped with two standard workflow

templates. Workflow template WS 01700044 controls the notification and sending of dispute case

work items. Once a work item has been generated, it can be access in one of two ways:

  From SAP Business Workplace, or via transaction SBWP.

  From your workflow inbox in the dispute case organizer using transaction UDM_DISPUTE.

Please refer to the below diagram for clarification.

Click on your Inbox to display workflow notifications

assigned to you as the dispute case processor. Drill down on

Inbox > Workflow and double-click to open the dispute case

work item.

Page 25: SAP Master Config

8/10/2019 SAP Master Config

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-master-config 25/47

 

To enable e-mail notifications, you will also have to activate workflow template WS 01700051. E-

mail notifications will automatically be sent to the dispute case processor using the email address

maintained in their SAP user profile.

Before workflow notifications can be sent, please ensure the following tasks have been completed

by your system administrator.

  Maintain standard settings for SAP Business Workflow

  SAPconnect has been configured for generation of e-mails

9.1  Perform task-specific Customizing

To activate SAP-standard workflow for dispute management, you need to activate the event linkage

for each workflow template in the FIN-FSCM-DM-DM application component. To begin, follow the

steps for workflow template WS 01700051.

9.2 

Define Regular Processor for Dispute CasesA regular dispute case processor is someone who logs into SAP dispute management on a regular

basis for processing and resolution of dispute cases assigned to him or her as the processor. Since

logging into SAP dispute management is part of their daily activities, you may not want to clutter

their email or workflow inbox with work item notifications.

However, for occasional processors who are not accustomed to logging into SAP dispute

management on a regular basis, generation of a workflow notification will inform them that a

dispute case has been assigned to them for processing.

To enable workflow notifications for occasional processors only, you need to maintain the SAP user

ID for all regular processors in this customizing activity. Since end user ID’s for regular processors

may not be maintained in the golden client for configuration, this will be a manual cutover task for

maintenance in each client.

To begin defining regular dispute case processors, please follow the below IMG menu path:

IMG Menu SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial

Supply Chain Management > Dispute Management >

10 Process IntegrationIn this section we will carry out customizing activities that will automate changes to the status

attribute within the dispute case and determine the appropriate text ID for notes entered upon

creation of a dispute case.

10.1 

Define Automatic Status Changes

Throughout the dispute case life-cycle, certain status’s can be set to update automatically based on

clearing activities in FI-Accounts Receivable. This customizing activity will allow you to maintain thevalue of the status after the following activities occur:

  Automatic Reopen  – Once a dispute case has been closed, it can be re-opened if the

accounting document linked to the closed dispute case has been reset and reversed using

transaction FBRA.

  Automatic Write-Off   – If the accounting documents linked to the dispute case have been

automatically written-off using transaction UDM_WRITEOFF, the status can be automatically

updated to closed.

  Automatic Close  – When the linked accounting documents, associated to the dispute case,

have been cleared against a credit or incoming payment, the status can be automatically

updated to closed.

Page 29: SAP Master Config

8/10/2019 SAP Master Config

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-master-config 29/47

To begin defining the status, which will be populated automatically based on clearing activities

in FI-Accounts Receivable , please follow the below IMG menu path:

IMG Menu SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial

Supply Chain Management > Dispute Management >

Dispute Case Processing > Process Integration > Define

Automatic Status Change

3.  Insert the Closed status for Automatically Written Off

4.  Insert the Closed status for Automatic Close

5.  Click on Save

If you leave any of these values blank, the status will not update automatically after the various

clearing activities have been performed in FI-Accounts Receivable.

10.2 

Define Text ID for Notes

Text ID’s define various note types which can be recorded throughout the deduction creation and

resolution cycle. This customizing activity will allow you to define which note type, from your text

profile, that should be assigned to any comments input at the time of dispute case creation.

In this customizing activity, you can define which attributes from dispute management can trigger a

change to the linked accounting document(s). For example, a change in the dispute case reason

code can update the corresponding AR line item reason code. Or, a change in the dispute case

status and reason code can update the dunning block on the corresponding AR line item(s). Please

note that this synchronization only occurs from the dispute case to the AR line item and not from the

AR line item to the dispute case.

derivation and population upon dispute case creation or (3) if the value is manually

overridden in the create dispute case dialog box.

6.  You can also determine how the external reference field in the dispute case is populated

upon dispute case creation. If the field selected in the first priority is maintained, for theassociated FI-Accounts Receivable document, this value will be maintained in the external

reference field when the dispute case is created. If the field identified in the first priority is

null, then the system will check for the value of the field identified in the second priority.

This process will repeat until a value has been identified for the highest priority field. As

with the category, reason code and priority, this value can always be overridden.

7.  Double-click on the reason code folder to begin the reason code and priority mapping.
